The primary role of Pink Mountain Provincial Park is to protect a significant palaeontological site containing examples of large fauna from the Mesozoic Era.

The subalpine zone, located at 1100 to 1550 m elevation consists primarily of black and white spruce, lodgepole pine, willow and birch.

The vegetation consists of shrubs, herbs, mosses and lichens which all contribute to support the significant diversity of wildlife species.

Significant species found within the park and surrounding area include grizzly and black bear, lynx, fisher, and wolverine.
